My computer renders so slow.....tips?
How fast does your computer render your scenes? Mine renders at such a slow pace. And I live in Africa now where the power outages are constant and my "uninterruptable" power supply never works so needless to say my renders never finish. I work on a Phenom II dual core unlocked to quad core, which helps, but not as much as… -
Re: My computer renders so slow.....tips?
you need to read the documentation on EVERY setting in your render options and start to experiment with your settings. you also need to k read about EVERY setting for lights shaders etc. rendering with an ofline renderer is 90% messing with settings. looking at your scene you should be able to render that in under 30sec. -
Re: My computer renders so slow.....tips?
^^^ yes and also turn off ALL lights. turn them on one by one. and try them individually. adjust settings on lights with your flat shader. then reapply your shaders one by one and do test renders. yes around 30sec. the shadows for your lights and other render settings have just as much an effect as the shaders do. if you… -
Re: My computer renders so slow.....tips?
if you have unreliable power supply it might be wise to use render elements and composite them after. each pass will render quicker than the full frame and cos they'll all get saved independently you'll lose less work if the power does go out. whatever you do and no matter how efficient your scene, you're going to end up… -
Re: My computer renders so slow.....tips?
well, you could also render regions and stitch them together in your 2d app afterwards. what i noticed though with max 2013 is that it slowed down on my rig heavily aswell. even to the extent that max freezes (render to texturing a few alpha mapped planes shouldnt make max crash -.-) So what i did is under the task manager… -
Re: My computer renders so slow.....tips?
That seems a great idea for single image renders. I do those but I also like to render animation. So I take it compositing is possible for animated scenes as well? I guess I have a lot to learn. I suppose that's how they do the movies I'm happy to start by visiting any links I can get from y'all. I will have to try that.… -

Can you render with gpu settings in 3d max? If not try out Octane renderer demo. -
Re: My computer renders so slow.....tips?
Rendering with mental ray is all cpu based. I think the problem is you have glossy reflections on all the arch+design materials. try turning the reflection down to 0 on all of the old materials and re rendering it. -
Re: My computer renders so slow.....tips?
I use 3ds Max 2013 and mentalray. High resolution would only take longer so I render to 1280x720 pixels. Everything else is pretty much at default. I use several lights in the scene. Wish I could be more specific but I don't know much about render terminology. -
Re: My computer renders so slow.....tips?
There's cetrain things that make renders a lot slower. Particularly glossy reflections, motion blur, high anti aliasing settings, final gathering, global illumination, high ambient occlusion valvues, soft shadows. You can optimize the settings of those featurse so it doesn't take as long. I'd expect something like that to…
